BDP is an architectural and engineering firm founded in The UK. I joined this company in 2025 as part of the new structural teams based on the Birmingham studio.

• Lead structural design and coordination for multidisciplinary projects, ensuring compliance with Eurocodes, British Standards, and client specifications.
• Undertake detailed analysis and design of reinforced concrete, timber, steel, and foundation systems using finite element software and hand calculations.
• Review GI reports and develop appropriate foundation strategies based on ground conditions, load requirements, and project constraints.
• Prepare high-quality technical reports, design calculations, and RIBA Stage deliverables.
• Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams, including architects, contractors, and geotechnical engineers, to resolve design queries and optimise structural solutions.
• Provide guidance to junior engineers and contribute to quality checking of design outputs.
• Ensure designs account for health, safety, and CDM responsibilities, promoting risk-mitigated and buildable solutions.
• Incorporate sustainability principles into structural design decisions by considering material efficiency, low-carbon alternatives, and opportunities to minimise embodied carbon where appropriate.
